What is it about con-men?

Why did they choose the life of a bottom feeder? They are smart enough to make an honest living. Is cheating exciting to them? Is the thrill of stealing what they live for?

One thing is very clear about con-men. If they were hunters they would be content to hunt animals in a zoo. They go for the easiest kill.

I know this because so many of them come to Coatesville to try out their cons.

Long time residents here care about themselves and sometimes include their friends and fellow “Coatesvillians”. I have found that even the churches here are sometimes divided by those who are primarily religious and those who primarily want to bilk their fellow churchgoers. The rest of the world, its laws and values, do not come into their value system.

Just like a cooking pot for crabs doesn’t need a lid. Coatesville residents are an easy “make” for a con. If someone is running a con in Coatesville they are more likely to find people who want a cut than people who will try to stop it. The Coatesville residents will pull each other back down just like crabs in a cooking pot.

As long as the citizens of Coatesville's egos are stroked people here don't care if most Coatesville residents are being bled dry by con-men. That is if they also perceive it is the government or the people in the next block and not them who are being bled dry.

Coatesville is con-man heaven; it's like hunting in a zoo.
